Would giving 16-year-olds the vote improve democracy or just change the way campaigns are run?

Lowering the voting age - Standpoint image

I think that it would be an achivement if 16-year-olds were aloud to vote as it could affect millions of lives, being able to be heard, accepted. They could share their opinions with the world like I am doing. It would get them prepared for the real world. If that person they voted for dose'nt win the election it would get them ready for sometimes faliure. Another may not agree and I don't blame them. I mean sometimes teenagers can be a little recklase and do graffiti but the thing is they do that because not because they are bad people but because they feel unheard. Voting some times might make them feel heard and accepted.
